1908 Picture postcard of Harbin to England with 3k Arms tied by “POSTAL WAGON No.266 / 7” 10.8.08 cds (Kwangchentze-Harbin line, train 7) in green with further strike adjacent, very fine. Note: Under the Treaty of Portsmouth (Sept. 1905) the southern half of Line 266, which formerly ran to Port Arthur, was conceded to Japan. During the interim period before the introduction of new oval cancellers showing Kwangchentze as the new southern terminal, the old circular type cancels were brought back into use.
